    Unknown cable type...

    Noticed this cable today, never seen it before. Searched web to no avail. It was similar in size to 2.5 T&E and was supplying a FCU. I don't need to know what it is as I was doing unrelated stuff there, just curious really. It was in a block of flats in the 'loft' near to a lot of the elevator...

    What is this...

    Hi Folks. Got sent the piccy below this afternoon. Never seen such a beauty before! I assumed it was some kind of NSH time switch, but it likely pre-dates economy 7 type tariffs... Answers on a postcode welcome! Thank you.. answers are also welcomed on a postcard...!

    Just back from a callout.. The joys..

    Microwave, extractor fan and man cave all going through a 13A FCU... Man cave has 5kW of heating in it, a beer fridge, TV, etc etc...oh and it's fed via a 1mm cable! The FCU was replaced three weeks ago by a college lecturer (teaches electrics).. The neutral feed I suspect was not tightened up...

    UK English rental EICRs query...

    Hi all... I have heard that mandatory EICRs in England (and Wales (?)) may be coming into force this summer. A letting agent I do a fair bit of work for posed a question just now that I didn't know the answer for.. They asked if a satisfactory EIC has been issued (say for a board change), then...

    Sylvania... The brand...

    I have always regarded them as a decent brand..no particular reason as to why though, I just have.. but had a few issues with their LED Syl-circle lights failing after around 10% usage of what they proclaimed to last. And just the other day I noticed that two LED GU10s at my place that are...

    Premier elite 24 little issues

    Hi folks and wishing you all a lovely festive break.. Fitted a premier elite 24 panel recently. Few teething issues. The user manuals are atrocious and I have found other answers from YouTube and forums - namely LeeSparklyKent for saying to input the eng code twice in a row to access the...

    Discuss; Plugull - The removable plug attachment - any good?

    https://www.jmldirect.com/offers/buy-it-now/plugull-plug-removal-attachment I feel that given the longer length of the earth pin it will actually stress the plug and the socket. British plugs can be a bugger to pull at times, but I don't think this is the answer..

    Crabtree Starbreaker config.

    Hi folks. Wanting to do some work on a lighting circuit. Need to change to 30mA protection, currently 100mA S type... I know the Starbreaker boards can be configured differently with their busbars, but how! See piccy. Is there anyway to introduce another 30mA rccb onto this board, maybe moving...

    My gravity flappy lid Eureka moment for happy labelling!!

    It's only took since the start of AMD3 for me to realise the powers of a magnetic level in making labelling easier!! Can't post photo though! File too big. Have screenshotted it to make it smaller but no joy. Basically the level holds the lid open! Staff /Dan /Lou - what's the maximum image...

    Bosch GOP 18V - 28......

    I had to replace my old old green Bosch multicutter today at short notice and opted for the above largely due to the fact I have a fair amount of 18V batteries. This machine is an absolute beast in comparison to my old one. It must cut through stuff at least three times faster than the previous...

    Quality work probably from Sunderland illuminations.

    Was with the kids in the park today and noticed some T&E snaking up a tree. Loving the cable clips. The second piccy the cable goes underground and reappears just by the small rock to the right. Although it's fenced off I'm inclined to contact the council about it. Shoddy.

    NAPIT Certification Scheme Napit Mobile 0 - Pen & Paper - 1

    Did half an EICR this morning, finishing it off tomorrow night. I tried Napit Mobile for the first time. What an annoying counterintuitive process it is. Can't skip between different parts of the form. Filled in the origins section no problem, pressed submit, but then what? I don't know! Does...

    Hi folks, I am trying to decide on the best 18th cert software package. I would like something that has a bit more uumpph than the standard forms. I have just downloaded the free trial of napit desktop and would appreciate any feedback from others - particularly any negatives. So far I kinda...

    Anyone fancy this tomorrow. I can't be bothered!

    Found 14 JBs in less than two square feet today. Lovely! Some are out of shot but this was the worst bit... Two rings interconnected. Great stuff!

    Free PME upgrades. A common practice now??

    Enquired with NEDL about two possible TT upgrades to PME. I found the screenshot below on their website. It used to cost around 160 quid for the intake to be changed but now it's apparently free. Are other DNOs doing this? Has there been some legislative change?

    Best customers own attempt at changing a light fitting mishap..!

    Didn't take a photo. I should have. Typical, I tried to change the light fitting DIY jobbie gone wrong. I really wanted to say something sarky or witty but he was a nice bloke so I didn't. Mock up of the seven way choc block below. Bless him! He was over the moon when I got most of the rest of...
